	Fond as I am of rambling, I just had to answer a couple of the
points here.

	First, you ask about cross title tales. In some cases, I really
like it. As I have mentioned before, I collect primarily DC and alternates,
no Marvel. Further, I get almost all DC titles. Therefore, cross
title tales do not normally cause me any problems. In general, however,
I do not like them, because of the number of writers and artists involved
(to many contrasting styles). In the case of Detective/Batman, though,
I do like it, because it allows much more rapid sub-plot development,
and the cross-over is continuous.

	As for the rising price of comics, I have found that in the
last three weeks, my average outlay for comics had doubled. This
is due primarily to the increasing number of (expensive) alternates
that I am getting, and the more expensive DC titles. These are generally
worth it, but I think I will have to start pruning back down again soon -
hard to explain the constant outlay to the wife and the increase is 
significant.

	Well, that's it for now. This news group has been dead for the
last couple weeks - what's a matter, everyone spending their time on
net.tv?
